Phosphorus night firing sky 		a

		glistening stone






throats of 			water 		gag


		sweet			salt




vast, 			by night and sea


sea roar					all night

		ampullariae swimming
		suspended in (brackish)
		generally estuaries, the 

			sound		water beetles
		bivouacking 	lately at eve-
		ning distinguishing	dormancy
		and profusion.
